Mikko Rantanen

Mikko Rantanen was Colorado's top dog in scoring for the 2021 56-game season. He picked up the slack when the Avs needed him to and rewarded his fantasy managers with a solid 66 points. He also racked up a plus-30, 34 PIM, 24 powerplay points, 177 SOG, 26 hits and 20 blocks. Keep in mind when you're drafting next year that he doesn't produce very much in peripheral stats like hits and blocks which limits his upside in some leagues. Look for him to be drafted in the middle to late 2nd round next year.
